50 soon…

and absolutely nothing has changed for the better. Most for the worse. My life is full of starts and stops with the stops being longer and the starts becoming less than half ass attempts of something that is almost less than nothing.

Just thought you might be interested in an update from the Mad Man as he approaches the HALF CENTURY mark.

 

Cheers to you all and Happy Fucking Birthday to Me!

Arrrrggggg!!!

My brain seems to belong to someone else. It has to because it's sure not letting me in on any of the jokes known as my life. I wish I could say my life is going well but honestly it's anything but. Honestly I'm getting to the point where I'm just really fucking tired of trying or really even giving a damn.

I'm blogging at work on my phone by the way. This has its very own special kind of suck attached to it. The keyboard on the screen is way too small for my fat fingers to actually type,  even with thumbs, so I swipe type. It mostly works but there is way too much correcting going on. Sometimes it's remarkably accurate but mostly it's a pain in the ass. I just realized that I've complained about typing in this blog before. I suppose when that is your preferred form of posting an entry you are going to find something to bitch about now and then. It might be nice if the thing could just tell what the hell I'm thinking and put it into this thing. But then again sometimes I find it obtusively difficult to temper what I'm writing as it is. Can you imagine the things that might show up here if it had unfettered access to my brain! Actually it might be rather entertaining.

The Empty Skull

I'm back. Sort of. We'll see how this goes anyway. There hasn't been any brain vomit here in quite some time. You know the score by now, so either there will be frequent posts or, as more often than not, this will be the last post for some time to come. Stay tuned, or don't. As for now, it's time to get back to the day job!

Ah Ha!


I found an application that lets me type using the proper keys on my keyboard! Things are suddenly looking up!

 

Now I just need to find an application that will make my brain actually work!

 

In the near future I may start posting short stories here or more likely on my Weird Fiction blog over at blogger.com.

Samsung


Sitting here in the lunch room at work trying out the android livejournal app on my new Galaxy 2.  I'd like to say I'm impressed with this little tablet but to be perfectly honest I 100 percent miss my iPad. The shift key does not work on my blue tooth keyboard but apparently the caps lock does. Unfortunately caps lock is only good for the alpha keys and has no effect on numbers or other shifted characters.  Not a huge probelm unless I need a question mark, double quote, exclamation, etc., well you see the problem here right? Of course I can hit the shift on the virtual keyboard and everything works as expected except that I have to hit the shift on the virtual keyboard. I suppose it's just a minor inconvenience. Oh, and there is no spell check while you type in this app so... expect horrible spelling errors!

Previous Post

I actually wrote that one several weeks ago and I was going to say loads more, but I forgot about it and today I decided to just put it past me, post it and move on.

It's "early" in the morning and I am about to start work. I am back in my stop-start relationship with writing, unfortunately mostly stop. I am going to try and flip it back to start. I suppose I need to start being easier on myself and realize that there are reasons, sometimes beyond my control, sometimes not, that I stop and I should be grateful that I, at least occasionally, start again. I'm not sure if blogging helps or hinders me but I decided a long time ago that at least I'm writing.

My Life

I don't really hate my life. I really just don't like many aspects of it. My past, present, and future are riddled with bad decisions, mistakes, and just plain idiotic behavior.  All those things have combined to make my present nearly unbearable and my future extremely uncertain. Everything has been spiraling out of control for years. And when I think that I've finally hit bottom and feel certain that from there the only way left is up. Only it's not the bottom, it's just a place where there is something slightly more tangible impeding my decent. Eventually, the plateau weakens and I'm falling again.

I know the bottom must be a really bad place. The journey there is certainly no pleasure. The worst thing in the world is to know you are spiraling out of control towards some inevitable wretched end and there is nothing you can do to stop it. There's nothing you can do to cushion the blow. Even worse is the knowledge that the final impact at the bottom isn't going to kill you. 

Dude I got a Mac...

Well I finally got a Mac. It's an older, used, ergo inexpensive Mac. It does need an upgrade or two. Luckily I have an older 500G hard drive to throw in it already, but still need to upgrade the memory, 512MB is not enough. It works, but it's painfully slow.

So for now I'm moving files off the old drive; hopefully tomorrow evening I'll be able to finish that up and move all the Mac stuff into a nice roomy drive. I'd love to be able to take care of it all this evening, but alas I must be off to work...

Still here

Well if you haven't noticed the end of the world may not have happened. At least not yet. Of course it is possible that it did happen and we all simply failed to notice.

The next end of the world scenario should take place around 2024 or so when a very large asteroid is going to pass very close to us. NASA has said there is no chance of impact, but what fun is that? I think we should immediately start buying asteroid impact insurance and end times survival kits.

Or, if you didn't know about this yet, we could get smashed by the new comet that will be entering or solar system for the very first time in 2013! Scientist are saying we won't get hit by this one, but it will put on one hell of a show, maybe. It is even possible that it will out shine the moon in the night sky and should be easily visible during the day.

Good luck everyone the cosmos just might be out to get us!

Happy End of The World Eve!

I've decided to write at least one more post before the end times. Sometime tomorrow, everything, life as we know it, is supposed to end. I thought I would be saddened by this, but somehow, I am looking forward to the mass extinction of planet Earth. At least none of us will be alone; the exception of course being Chuck Norris. I've heard that Chuck is still debating whether or not to round kick the end times into the next millennium so that we all may have a little more time to get our shit together. If old Chuck doesn't save our collective asses then I suppose this is good bye. It was real and it was fun but it wasn't real fun. Maybe when the cycle starts all over again and we reach this apex of existence we will have learned to all get along much better and perhaps respect one another.

I would very much like to write more about this, but I only have a few more minutes left before I have to start work. Yes instead of spending my last few hours with my family I am working. I wonder if this makes me an optimist or a bastard? So again, if I don't get to write any more, because of, you know, the end of the world and all, good bye, good luck, and well let's face it good riddance! 

Hugs, kisses, and all my love to you dear family.
